Happy Spring, although it does not look or feel like it here.
I am not sure if I arrived at Pier 7 first, or the seagull on the third light post, maybe a tie. Another early bird shot from San Francisco last year along the Embarcadero, Pier 7 to be exact.
The San Francisco Belle is in the frame far-right and the historic Bay Bridge in the background as well. This was taken the first morning the Bay Bridge was actually shut down for repairs and was creating quite a traffic stir in the city. I love shots like these and could not resist a few brackets before the sun came up.
Have a great Wednesday!

20 Mar 2013What a beauty, Mike. The seagull contributes significantly actually. Great depth created by the lights, and the additional interests on the right side are bonuses too. This could hang on my wall quite happily.

20 Mar 2013Mike, this is a beautiful image. Great early morning scene. I love the lighting and how the pier just pulls you into the frame.

25 Mar 2013There’s an interesting tension here. The peir draws your eye to the center distance, but then you notice the ship and bridge off right. Then the pier pulls you back to center, and then you consciously go right again.
